THE BOOM BEGINNING.

In the course of few weeks at most
the public will learn as to the outcome
of the Salt Lake & Los Angeles railway
scheme. All has worked admirably up
to tn. present time, and there 10 every
reason to believe the most gratifying
success will reward the efforts of the
enthusiastic promoters. The feasibility
of the road has been established; its
advantages are admitted; that it will
be a profitable institution il not doubted
since something of the material re-
sources along the route has been learned.
We may, therefore, with reason
able degree of certainty, regard
the commencement of the building of
the road as merely question of brief
time necessary for the arrangement of
the details of the important undertak-
ing. 1t is hardly probable that active
labor on this end of the road vii! be
begun before spring, bat there is no good
reason why dirt should not be moving
in California all winter. When the
frost shall leave the ground next year,
We may expect to witness brisk opera
tons on the Utah and Nevada sections
Of the big road.
The first sod turned on the Salt Lake
d Los Angeles will mark the beginning
of q new and glorious era in Utah
The influence of the enterprise will be
for good industrially, politically and So
cially. The project means the enlarge
ment and permanenoy of the reign Of
peace which has been growing on the
community for the past few months,
and peace means everything for this
fair Territory. If we can continue to
forget our quarrels over nothing and
can unite es all have done in this rail-
way scheme, slI else will come. The
first stroke of the pick will give
notice to the country at large
that the "boom" Territory is Utah
and the boom" city, Salt Lake. twill
be accepted by the public as a guaraR-
tee that there is to be no more factional
fighting to disturb the community and
prevent the development and utiliSa-
ton of our vast resources. 1t will be
taken as an invitation to the timid cap
itslists and their more timid wealth to
come here, where they can put their
money at work pro6tably. The road,
during the period Of its construction,
will give US all something to think
about and to do besides engaging in
qusrrels and disputes which are ruin
GUS to prosperity. The country. the
resources and the people are of the |
right kind. The combination is all that |
can be desired, provided there can be a
combine" and the Salt Lake s. Los
Angeles is the agency that will bring it
about.

THE EXTRACTION LAWS.

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the English
statesmen who is over here as member
of the fisheries commission, has been
asked as to his opinion concerning the
proprietV of enlarging the scope of the
extradition treaty between Great
Britain and the United States. He said
he thought the list of crimes for which
the perpetrators should be extradited
should be extended to include burglary
embezzIement, fraudulent bankruptcy
and some other crimes not now
mentioned in the treaty. Why not
extend the list to include all
crimes save those of political
character2 1t is certain that the
United States do not want either as
citizens or as alien residents the
criminals of Canada or Great Britain,
whether their crimes be of a greater or
less magnitude. A man who fees a
country to escape punishment for
crime is not desirable neighbor, and
will not be good citizen. While the
extradition laws are restricted to com.
psrstiVely small number of otenses in
the calendar, and are also literally
interpreted in favor of the criminals,
good many scoundrels will escape
punishment by passing from one coun-
try to another. Canada protects large
colony OF American thieves, defaulters
and scoundreis, and Mexico harbors
another assorted collection of criminals
from this side of the border. So long
as those countries shield from prosecu
ton and punishment our crooks they
encourage theft, defalcation and bank
robbery in the United States. The ex-
tradition laws should be so broad and
comprehensive that the rogue would
feel no safer in a foreign land than in
his own country, if his crime were of sui
6cient enormity to make it worth the
while of his government TO follow and
bring him to justice.

PECULIAR HUMANITARIANs.

One Paul Grotgkau, the editor of
German newspaper in Milwaukee, is
going about the country collecting audi
ences to which he decIaims against
American laws and American institu-
tons, and which he endesvorS 10 iucite
TO deeds of violence. If the reports of
Herr Grottkau's lectures correctly rep
resent him In language and sentiment,
the sooner he is placed where his voice
cannot be heard by the ignorant rabble
which he seeks to influence the better
for the country and for the fellows who
might be led astray by him. On Sun
day week ago Grottksu hsrsngued an
audience IN PIttsburg, his address being
chiefly devoted to laudstion of the
hanged Anarchists. He denounced the
2w which executed the conspirators,
and the men who put the law into
eject, and amons other things in sim
liar strain said: They have murdered
these men because they battled boldly
for the cause of humanity" What
cause of humanity did the Anarch
lists battle for, and in what
way did they battle fer it2
The cause for which they battled was
the right to throw bombs into crowds
of humanity, and blow into shreds
women and children, the rich and the
poor, the employer and the employee.
1t would be great boon to humanity
if few Anarchists could have the Ii
cense to commit wholesale murder
Humanity would be helped wonderfully
if the Anarchists were SO successful as
to abolish law, and destroy government.
The American people, the poorest
and most oppressed among them, do
not want such phlIanthrOpic humani-
tarians as the Anarchists to work in
Tn cir behalf, and the sooner the Croft
Klaus and others of their iik learn this
TACT, the better will it be for them. 1t
might also be well for the States to
make common ca1se against the An
archist agitators. and give them no rest

AT THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH,

The rostrum was handsomely though not
deliberately decorated, and there was II good
audience present. After the usual opening
exercises, the Pastor, Rev. W. F. Day, an
nounced his text: 'LooE TO Christ, the Au-
thor and Finisher of Faith" The import of
the discourse was the necessity of working
out one life's character from Christ as a
model, with our own individual characters
and peculiarIties for background. Do not
copy other people. We cannot be like any
one else, and If we attempt it We shall only
copy their poorest side We will initiate
their faults instead of their virtues. If we
copy the faults Of our superiors, We lower
ourselves. II we think we can succeed with
those faults because they do. we are misled,
and are sure to fail. Rely on your own
thoughts, on yourself, with that Perfect

The wo0len manufacturers OF the east
are beginning to complain of the duty on
wool-one of the very few duties levied
for the benefit Of farmers They assert
that II is a burden on them because 1t is
tax on the raw material they work with,
and II ought to be removed. They are
actually In favor OF tree trade in wool and
other raw materials, But they are not in
favor of removing or even reducing the
duty on wooden manufactures. They insist
still on the privilege OF collecting a special
protective tax irom the Illinois farmer
when he buys blanket.
